always learning, United Kingdom

I find peace by drumming, through vibrational dance, connecting to myself and sitting through the initial anxiety and pain. I hold my inner child and I remind her that she is loved and safe, and I tell my inner teen she is heard and respected. I give my adult self a pat on the back and breathe through the moment.

And so I ask you: In the midst of chaos, how do you find peace?
